Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Sarratt fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Elijah Sarratt, the No. 48 name on the board, stolen at the 73rd overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Parker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dontay Corleone at the 42nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 73, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon is a better player than pick 132 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses slipping to slot 136 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Value with a capital V on Jalen Stroman in No. 148, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They paid sticker price for Sawyer Robertson in Round 5, Pick 32, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A conviction pick on Isaiah Jatta at the 188th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
